New Qatar World Cup controversy over homosexuality comments – BBC News



A Qatar World Cup ambassador has called homosexuality «damage in the mind», in an interview days before the start of the competition.

The former Qatar international Khalid Salman told German broadcaster ZDF that LGBTQ+ people attending the tournament should «accept our rules».

Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar because it is deemed to be immoral under Islamic Sharia law

Salman said: “You know what haram [forbidden] means? I am not a strict Muslim but why is it haram? Because it is damage in the mind.»

Qatar has faced longstanding criticism for its human rights record, with many people questioning whether it is an acceptable venue for the World Cup competition.

French police accused of brutality at chaotic Champions League final – BBC News



The French government has called an emergency meeting with football authorities and the police to examine what went wrong at the Champions League final in Paris between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Large crowds built up outside the Stade de France stadium, with the start of the game delayed for more than 30 minutes.

There were chaotic scenes before, during and after the match, with Liverpool fans accusing the police of brutal and intimidating tactics, including the use of tear gas.

The UK government said the images of what happened were “deeply concerning”, while the Mayor of Liverpool who was at the game described the conduct of the police as “completely unacceptable”.

The French authorities said the problems were caused because many Liverpool fans had turned up with fake tickets.
